Birrieria Enriquez: North Park's Finest Mexican Food

Birria tacos are one of my favorite foods and this place makes them to perfection. The flavor and tenderness of the meat was point. Tried the taco and shrimp taco too; both really fresh and delicious. Would’ve loved to try more. Definitely give this place a try.

The tacos were delicious 🤤 winners 🏆 We tried their birrieria tacos 🌮🌮 and the meat was perfectly tender and the sauce was perfectly spicy. Worth stopping by, tacos are $4 and a good size.

Very good food you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend. Fish tacos We're good shrimp tacos fire, and Quesa birria tacos fuego. Very friendly staff I will definitely be back.Thanks again.

Delicious bowl of birria on a cold and rainy day. Very generous portions. Great service and more than fair prices.

I came to cure my hangover here, and it was exactly what I needed. The service is great and the birria is on point! I got the quesabirria, and my bf got the birria chilaquiles; the meat was really flavorful and tender. I like the calming jazz music they had in the AM.

This is the BEST birria place. If you have never had it, it's beef stew on a mildly spicy broth. It's comforting, warm, meaty and delicious. I had the birria ramen, which was great, a little spicy. BF has the plate of birria with a side of rice and beans. And they were also amazing. The service was warm, friendly and knowledgeable, they will recommend you dishes and tell you what goes with what. Overall, amazing dinner.

This place is a gem. Nothing flashy but nice and clean! But the food was incredible…especially for the price! $12 for a huge birria torta!

If I could give the food more than 5 stars, I most definitely would. Stopped here during a one-day pass through San Diego and it was--hands down--the best part of the day. Food was incredibly--the quesabirria was unbelievable and the sauces were amazing. The large quantity of chopped cilantro and onion made it sing. Staff were welcoming and delightful. I would make a detour to go back here the next time I'm in the remote vicinity of San Diego.

Service was quick, helpful, and friendly. The Birria, (meat and broth) birria taco, and Birria quesadillas were flavorful, juicy, and well seasoned. You cannot go wrong with any of these orders. One of the best Birria in San Diego! I'd definitely check this place out if you're looking for good Birria in the neighborhood.

Tried the Sonora menudo. Dope. Totally recommend. Broth is incredibly rich. Tacos de birria and consommé were also really good. I even enjoyed their coffee. They have almond milk for your coffee, and several smoothies for those of you weirdos who would come to a birria sonorense spot and ask for a non-meat option. Staff was friendly and amenable. Ambience is cute and romantic.

Spent a couple of days in San Diego. Found Birrieria Enriquez online. Stopped in for lunch with the family. Carlos (the cook) was running the register, the kitchen and serving the food! The birria was legit - my kids loved it. Both kids had the queso-tacos. I ordered the birria torta. My wife and I also shared a shrimp taco and a fish taco. Carlos was awesome. My daughter asked for some "chips & salsa" and even though it wasn't on the menu, Carlos made a batch fresh from scratch. The consume was amazing. So much flavor. The restaurant is small but friendly and inviting. Normally I wouldn't say anything about the bathroom - but - it was immaculate. The food was excellent, the service amazing and we will be stopping by again the next time we are in town.

Oscar is so fun and helpful! Excellent customer service. He recommended the jamaica drink, and it was refreshing. I LOVED the birria tacos with consome!! Probably one of the best I've had. It was juicy, tasty, and full of flavor, with or without consome. I also got a chicken tamale because they ran out of pork. It was good too! But for sure come here for their birria!

Came here for yet another taco Tuesday, and have I stumbled upon a hidden gem?? The fish/shrimp tacos were actually so juicy that it was burning me because I couldn't stop devouring. The birria tacos that they are known for slapped hard. I had to get another shrimp taco bc I was too excited but that one was breaded a little poorly but still tasted good. Way better than like Oscar's for example.

The best quesabirria tacos I've ever had! The meat is so flavorful and the tacos are stuffed full of birria, red onions, cilantro, and gooey cheese. I got a side of consommé to dip the tacos in and drink the soup afterwards and it was seasoned very well. My husband had the Birria fries and we were shocked at how big the portion was! It was very very heavy, but he loved them. Service was friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and clients for birria tacos. They have happy hour deals for fish & shrimp tacos on Taco Tuesdays and select hours on certain weekdays, so I look forward to visiting to see if their fish tacos are good too.

From the moment I walked in, the owner made me feel welcome and he was kind enough to provide some recommendations l. The highlight for me? The sauces. Absolutely packed with flavor and each one brought a unique kick. The food itself was fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying, but those sauces are the most memorable.

The tacos are so yummy, don't sleep on the pescado. Very hot and fresh well seasoned batter and delicious salsas. Parking is a challenge. Will probably return.

This place smacks so hard! It's so fire! Authentic, fresh, intense flavors all the goodness! Honestly you can tell the food is made with heart and soul. It's so good.

The food was and portions were AMAZING for the price! There was only one guy working and it was pretty busy, the guy working was very nice and apologetic for a longer wait. (we really didnt notice until he said something) It's a cute and small place. I will definitely be coming back!

The best tacos Ive ever eaten. I had the fish taco which was steaming hot, juicy, with nice lime and cilantro on top. Then I had birria taco... yum! Best ever. I want to go back and try everything its so good.

The answer is always Birria! I was hurting and hungry after a late Saturday night and was craving tacos and menudo. Stopped into Birrieria Enriquez as I'd had it bookmarked for quite some time to nurse me back to health. Small, cozy shop right on University in North Park was just what the Dr. ordered. Staff was super friendly and you could see the tortas being made right behind the window. I ordered the Birria taco and the Menudo California. Warning, this does come with tripe as the protein. Food came out quick and they even offered samples of their new white fish ceviche. Bomb! Enjoyed everything and will definitely be back to try the Menudo Sonora as they were out on Sunday.

Wooooowwwzzaaaa Alright, this place slaps. I love the man working the entire restaurant, you can tell he does it with love. I had one quesabirria (fire) & one birria taco. Man were they delicious. Juicy, pipping hot, and the cilantro and onion were so crisp. I even asked where the hell they get cilantro that taste so good. Double tortilla tacos to hold and absorb the juices. And my god is there juice. Inside is this cute quirky area with allot of seating. Was offered salsa and some cream salsas immediately. The prices were 10/10, legit they have priced their food so accordingly and respectively, I would have paid more. They're not open late so my late cravings will suffer but I am excited this is local and available.

RE: Birrieria Enriquez in San Diego I've just read Yelp's message that my posted Honest review from 04/25/24 visit will be removed from this business's Yelp page. As to have clarity on the exact violation, what part of my review was a violation? I need to know as to NOT repeat this. I did NOT use profanity or make disparaging comments, about the business. I expressed my negative experience, my opinion and supported it with facts: based mostly on Inadequate hand washing and poor handling of food as it was also noted violations by the HEALTH DEPARTMENT INTELLIGENCE posted by Yelp!! And despite those violations, the staffer continued to violate by not washing his hands after I witnessed him touching and poking his ears and NOT washing his hands. I even asked him to wash his hands and wear gloves but as he said, ' I'm allergic to gloves,' I was uncomfortable and in disbelief, insisted my food order cancelled. ALL reviews whether rated from 1 or 5 stars should be included and welcomed, especially if the writer has proof of their visit to that business. Yelp's removal of my Honestly expressed posted review is a disappointment and makes Me question whether readers can trust and respect Yelp's process as a Reliable Reference, represented as Trusted source of shared experiences and INTEGRITY.

The birria torta is fantastic! Great little neighborhood spot to support. Workers are nice as well.

This small North Park suite on University Ave was last seen slinging seafood based tacos less than a year ago. I'm uncertain if the owner is the same as before, but the menu has now shifted to birria and cabeza (head meat). Plates, tacos, tortas, and quesatacos were the vehicles for the proteins. Some tamales, desserts, drinks, and smoothies were also offered. The inside had less than 10 stools for countertop seating while a few outdoor tables were out front. If it's even possible, I think the dining capacity was reduced after the interior configuration was revamped. My picks were a birria taco and the birria ramen. The taco was served on double corn tortillas with cilantro and onions as garnishments. A lime wedge and radish slices were also provided. Their version was pretty solid compared to the competition. The ramen was served in a styrofoam container which was typical. The amount of stewed beef added to the noodles seemed to be more than what I have experienced. Since my order was to go, the worker (owner?) did a nice job of shrink wrapping the container with plastic to minimize any leakage. The prices were reasonable given what I have seen charged for tacos nowadays. Despite the limited size of its operation, I felt the food quality at Birrieria Enriquez was deserving of a four star rating.

The best birria I have ever had. The best customer service. It's my partner and I favorite place to eat!!

This young man is making some delicious beef birria and tamales. I had both when I visited his new eatery. I had two quesa tacos with beef birria and a chicken tamale and rajas tamale or cheese and jalapeno. The quesa tacos were fantastic. The beef was juicy and flavorful, and the tacos were very well prepared. I liked that the corn tortillas had a touch of crispiness. The tacos were simply delicious. The rajas tamales were outstanding. It arrived pipping hot with the cheese melted and hot steam exiting as I broke into it. The peppers inside were not overly ho but packed great flavors. The masa or the corn was really good, too. The chicken tamale was very good, too, and the chicken was well seasoned and tender. It was a little on the dry side, however. This place has a nice line of tacos and tamales. The menu is simple, but the quality is there. I liked small businesses like this where they only make a few things, but they make them well. Great service!

So strange! I walked in, an employee was behind the counter chopping something, looked at the menu and tried to decide what might be good to order. Continued waiting...employee never looked up. Stood there for a few more minutes, turned around and walked out. So strange!

Excellent service and great authentic Mexican food this is the place you need to go, Got the birria torta- massive and really good a-lot of flavor salsas are awesome. Menudo sonorense- the most authentic menudo I've had in san diego period. Ask for pata "pig foot" as add on its great! Jamaica fresh fruit water- perfect flavor not watered down like other places by the time i took photos i was done with the water that speaks for itself. IN GENERAL ITS A MUST VISIT IF YOUR AROUND SAN DIEGO!

Stumbled across this small gem while roaming around San Diego. The birria is delicious! This restaurant isn't the prettiest but it's good enough to come and have a great meal. The service was great and if you love Birria this is the perfect place to try!

There was one party in the small restaurant on a weekday at lunch. The person behind the counter was quite friendly and described the quesabeza as a beef check taco with cheese and their birria taco as their most popular item. When I got home, my to go order was still piping hot. The quesabeza was my favorite, as the meat was tender and juicy. On the other hand, the birria was a tad dry. Since they were out of chicken tamales, I tried the beef and I thought the beef was also a little dry as was the dough.

Very happy to have found this hole-in-the-wall birria spot in North Park with incredibly flavorful consommé that outshines a few of the more famous birria spots in San Diego. Their menu is simple and features primarily birria or cabeza either as a plate, taco, torta, or quesataco, as well as birria ramen, menudo, and tamales. We tried their birria plate which came with a very reasonably sized bowl of birria in consommé, corn tortillas, and sides of radish, lime, red onion, and cilantro. We also tried their quesabirria which were hefty and packed with meat and flavor. We wanted to try their tamales as well but they did not have any available when we went on a weekday afternoon. Very low key spot with only a few tables for dining in, definitely a spot that focuses on the food rather than ambiance. All in all, real solid birrieria that we will return to!

The food was extremely fresh and delicious. The owner is super kind and offered great customer service. Ordered the birria fries and horchata. BOMB.

Yummy, great $$$ and fast service would come back to try other items on their menu too

This is the best birria in San Diego! Birrieria Enriquez is a small-hole in the wall north park/Hillcrest GEM! The owners are so kind and welcoming and the food is incredible. My husband and I really love birria tacos and have been to several places around town but none have compared to Birrieria Enriquez. The quesabirria taco has so much flavor, the meat is juicy, and it is perfected with a squeeze of lime. We also had their battered fish taco - you MUST try this as well. The batter has so much flavor and the fish is so perfectly tender - mixed with the crunch of the batter it is incredible. They have a selection of Mexican sodas- I would recommend the tamarind jaritos. My husband and I live down the street from this place and it is our second time visiting. We love this place and need to bring our friends and family here to experience these tacos! These guys have been open for a year and I believe they are destined for great success with the quality of their food. Make sure you put this one on your San Diego list! Ps. The food was devoured so quickly all I could get is a photo of the quesabirria taco.

Friendlystaff, tasty and very flavourful birria. I especially liked the tortillas served dipped in consomé.

Im back!!!! Every-time I come back, the tacos taste more and more delicious each time! The perfect environment with music not too loud or low. The cooks and servers are always so welcoming and wonderful service. You will definitely leave with a full stomach.

Amazing food and service! We had a group of 6 people here and they set up two tables for us and gave us bread and warm tortillas My birria ramen had me slurping up the consome because it was sooo good! Definitely come by and give these guys a chance !

Exceptional food I brought my friends here that were visiting from Colorado and they asked to go back on their second visit!! Their queso birrera is delicious and now the birrera fries are my new fav.

Great food and excellent service! Miguel goes out of his way to treat customers like family. Highly recommend!

I was in the area and was really craving some birria. Im very particular on flavorful consomé and this place did not disappoint. We were greated by the lovely gentleman in the front and he took our order and answered all our questions. Our food was quickly made and was very delicious. I highly recommend coming here. The food is authentic and the service is even better. Definitely a hidden gem. Can't wait to be back!

This was the first time trying this place. The birria tacos were amazing!!! We will be back. Thank you for being so kind and providing great customer service!!

Love this place! Cute mom and pop joint with great food. The quesabirria tacos are worth the hype. Happy hour is Wednesday and Thursday, 5-8pm so that makes it even better. The owner is super nice and the service is good. Good things take time so if you order takes a while, just know that it is because everything is made fresh, to order!

To give this place anything less than five stars would be an injustice. The quesabirria tacos are the best I've ever had. The tortas and tamales are amazing too! You can't beat the price and everyone I've interacted with here is so friendly. This is a small business with a lot of heart. You can tell they really care about quality and making a great impression. The interior is done really well considering it is such a small hole in the wall spot. I would give this place 10 stars if I could!

Perfect birria. when you're looking for those solid birria tacos this is good stop. I love that they offer and birria/cabeza mix option!

Damn, really good Quesabirra Tacos, and the Birra Ramen! Kind of surprising really, as I've never thought much of Birria, but that was simply exceptional.

The staff was so friendly and helped me choose what i wanted to order :) when they brought out the food i audibly gasped at the size and when trying it, it was the most delicious fries ever. Definitely recommend and i am 100% going back but with some back up lol.

Looking for amazing tacos/tortas? Then you need to check this place, they have authentic Mexican tacos, tortas and more. The tortas and tacos are on another level. I took a bite of the torta and felt all my life problems melt away. I also had the best horchata here. I would go back just for the horchata alone.

One of the best fish tacos in SD. I got the shrimp and fish taco. I personally liked the fish more but both are great. It's 3 dollars on tuesday and and also 3 dollars wednesday and thursday 5-8 PM but you have to pay with cash. Highly recommend over Oscars fish taco deal. Those are dry and small

I came by in the early afternoon and ordered a cabeza torta and a birria taco. The person at the register was really nice but spoke little English so be ready! (I should definitely learn Spanish) In the end they forgot my taco as i ordered take out, but i can't be upset because the torta was REALLY GOOD. I would have definitely given 5 stars if they wouldn't have forgot my taco I'd recommend this place! Best torta i have had in a while. Btw, don't forget to ask for their spicy sauce, it is a HIGHLIGHT

If your looking for a spot for your birria cravings. THIS IS IT!!! As a Mexican, you will not be disappointed, just know it is beef not chibo. Enjoy :)

The food is authentic and delicious. The service was incredible. The owner is very kind and the overall experience was amazing. We will be back!

great little place for very tasty birrieria and other Mexican food! I had the quesobirreria taco and my friend had carne asado. we both found the food delicious! Guacamole is very homemade and excellen. I highly recommend and Miguel is a very nice guy!

You MUST eat here! The food is exactly what you need for your cravings. Cooked to perfection the new owners have really upgraded the menu. I believe one of their names was Oscar. Such a sweet and dedicated young man. I will be returning the atmosphere alone was great ambience. Thank you guys for having me!!

The best Birria tacos in San Diego. I had to come the literal next day to get another order

Food was amazing! Had carne asada mini tacos and the quesabirria which was delicious. The 2 owners were very friendly and amazing hosts! Definitely recommend!

The food is always awesome these guys a great at what they do daily. Service is excellent Zr

Ill usually get takeout after a bad day, very rarely does it actually make the day better. This was different. Moved here 3 months ago and this is far and away the best tacos I have had. Both birria and shrimp taco were unreal. Place was empty (sad) and staff were super accomodating and brought me all the sauces to use. Really big tacos w lots of meat. Really nice prices. I promise I will not be going to any othet taco shop in my north park
